1962 Volkswagen Station Wagon Ad "Why won't your wife" ~ (model year 1962)

Description: 1962 VOLKSWAGEN STATION WAGON vintage magazine advertisement "Why won't your wife" ~ (model year 1962)

~ Why won't your wife let you buy this wagon?

  "It looks like a bus"
  "I wouldn't be caught dead in it."
  Do these sound familiar? Your wife is not alone. It is hard to convince some women what sense the VW Station Wagon makes.
  Its chunky shape, for instance, allows it to hold more than the biggest conventional wagon. (Yet it is a good four feet shorter, and a lot less exasperating t park.)
  She might like the easy way it loads. The side doors give her almost 16 sq. ft. for big supermarket bags, a baby carriage, etc.
  The Volkswagen Station Wagon does not have to take anything lying down. She can cart home an antique chest, standing up. Or delicate trees from the nursery. (Wide things, too. It will hold an open playpen.)
  She can comfortably pack in eight or more Scouts, with all their cook-out gear.
  She can give the family some extra sun on the way to the beach. (Why no other station wagon has a sun-roof is a mystery.)
  Even if the traffic is bumper to bumper on hot days, she will not have to worry about the radiator boiling over. There is no radiator, no water. (The Volkswagen engine is air-cooled.)
  She may get a kick out of beeping to the other women who drive VW Station Wagons. (They have a kind of private club.)
  Or maybe she likes to see where she is going. (The VW wagon has incredible visibility on hills and curves.)
  If these facts don't convince her, tell her it's only $2775* and you aren't made of money. ~
